Sanna Kurki-Suonio - Huria
Another powerful work by the singer who helped bring Hedningarna to
international fame, Huria is a follow-up to Sanna Kurki-Suoni's
acclaimed Kainuu, a duo project with Riitta Huttunen, this 2007
release pushes the boundaries of their exploration of Karelian folk
music with a stronger, more contemporary trio project, joined by
Karelian multi-instrumentalist Jari Lappalainen.

Petri Hakala - Trad.
Finnish Fiddle Tunes on Guitars and Mandolins performed by one of
Finland's great string masters, who has played with many of the
country's leading new-folk musicians including Erik Hokkanen, Maria
Kalaniemi, Ottopasuuna and the Helsinki Mandoliners.

Halogeeni - Loistava Perimä
Halogeeni is a Kokkola, Finland based trio that combines Finnish folk
music with their own trad-style tunes and songs on harmonium, mandolin
and 1- and 2-row accordions. Juha Virtanen's straightforward and
eloquent accordion playing gives a soul to Halogeeni´s music. Juha has
also composed most of the bands instrumentals. Halogeeni´s harmonium
player Anne-Mari Hakamäki and mandolin player Matti Hakamäki are the
vocalists of the trio. Old style songs sung in a peculiar way are an
essential part of Halogeeni's repertoire.

Dazibao - E40
The second release by this wonderful Belgian ensemble will surely
garner as much acclaim as their previous CD, Alma. The diatonic
accordions of Sophie Cavez and Jonathan de Neck are still in the
forefront, musically and compositionally, but this 2007 release offers
a more confident ensemble sound, a little richer in jazz roots while
still solidly enthralled the folk roots of their region. Exceptional
music from an exceptional ensemble, once again.

Polkaholix - The Great Polka Swindle
The band says: 'No Polka - no fun! Without Polka there is no TexMex,
no Merengue, no Ska, no Punk, no - I don't know what. Firstly: no
Rock'n Roll. - What, you didn't know that?' Well, they do it all...
and more, with high energy, great musicianship and lots of attitude.

Philip Glass / Leonard Cohen - Book of Longing
Based on the poetry of Leonard Cohen, a song cycle composed for
ensemble, singers, spoken word and imagery is the culmination of years
of mutual admiration between these two artists. The piece features new
music by Philip Glass that is inspired by Cohen poems and artwork. In
addition to narration by Leonard Cohen, this recording features the
composer on keyboard and longtime collaborator Michael Riesman
conducting The Philip Glass Ensemble. Glass's composition evokes the
magic in Cohen's most intimate prose with uncommon clarity. Includes a
deluxe digipack with the full libretto and Leonard Cohen's original
artwork.


Klezmic Zirkus - Vitamine K
Original compositions and traditional themes from Eastern Europe are
spiced up with jazz, classical, rock, folk and reggae to create a
copletely personal musical style. Aurélie Charneux (clarinet), Julien
De Borman (diatonic accordion), Adrien Lambinet (trombone, tuba),
Pierre Greco (double bass), and Wouter Roggemans (drums) Listen

Susanne Lundeng - Nattevak
Susanne Lundeng, Norwegian fiddler and write, has a personal style and
characteristic sound, and with her band virtually an extension of her
violin, she creates new music that is well entrenched in the Norwegian
folk music tradition. Susanne Lundeng's violin and vocals are
acommanied dby her long time band on guitars (including an
uncharacteristic slide guitar), mandolin, accordion, drums,
electronics bass and vocals. recorded at the old Vaeroy rectory in Norway.

Bellowhead - Burlesque (BACK IN STOCK!)
I have tried to tone down the prose to write this description, but
what can I do? This is a remarkable recording, a shock to the sytem.
fROOTS' Colin Erwin calls it "Astonishing!" It's Brecht meets Childe
in Copeland's backyard, chats with Coltrane and dances with brass
monkeys. This 11 piece band of notorious trad-arr hipsters (including
Spiers and Boden and Benji Kirkpatrick) plays accordions, fiddles and
such, punched into high gear by brass band and strings, and all manner
of exceptional strangeness ensues. It's all traditional, in a sense,
but like nothing you have heard before. Bonus: the package is a small,
lovely hardcover book with lyrics, photos (wild!) and more.

Oysterband - Meet You There (BACK IN STOCK!)
The new studio album by the Brit folk-rock legends, released March, 2007
